How would you guys redesigned your favorite MBT? You have to stick to nationality. For example, you can't stick a 88/71 gun in a Pershing....
Nagumo was still shocked by the near misses from B-17 strikes and became indicisive at the wrong moment. He had 1 hour 27 mimutes from the moment...
Prior to the attack on the Japanese carriers, did the Japanse command know that there was an American fleet in the area? Was the decision to...
I just checked my sources. I'm taking back my argument that the multiple American waves were in lieu of the American carriers was spread out....
I think the strike's disorganization came from spreading the carriers around. Common carrier tactics is to strike at the enemy at maximum...
A good argument. But I'd argue that an additional Japanese 4th carrier would have added a 25% increase in CAP plus its escort AA. Considering...
The Japanese got all their carriers to Midway together. The error was the decision to split them up. So the U.S. was able to pick them off...
I believe that the US Naval Academy still runs a sim every year of the Battle of Midway. And since its conception, never have the U.S. side won.
I'd put the Japanes as number one in 1939-1942 (up to Midway). The reason is due to tactics. They were the first to understand and apply the use...
Argentina. Along with their m24 chaffee cousins. Eva Parone's side.
German pz2000. They even made a model out of one. Retails for $40.00
I'm really surprise that the germans never make the L70 into an anti-tank gun. Even though the 88 was better (both versions - 56 and 72), they...
I don't think this was it. This looks new to me. It's in the current edition of Jane's Weekly if you've a chance to look at it the next time...
I just saw a Bradley in Janes Weekly that appeared to carry to what looks like German Mexus Armor on the front. They look like bricks but made of...
The SU100 and ISU122 were pretty good too. Too bad the Soviets were on the offensive and couldn't really use them for the TD role. I...
By the way, the king tiger had 200mm frontal armour. That's a little less than a Bradley or Warrior with the add on armour package.
Do you know why the Brits chose to omit an ATG? I thought they'd add one for sure after the TOW2 from the Bradley did so well in 92 Gulf.
That is what I read in all the criticisms. Whether it's true. Dunno. I thought all tank engines give up huge infa red signatures. Does it...
The Hesh round is going the same route as the Missile. Less effective vs the latest armour whether they're space amour, reactive, or choblam....
Actually the Challenger and the M1 uses different guns. M1 uses a modified German 256 smoothbore with a different breech and 44 calibers. The...
